Klemtu

Klemtu is an unincorporated community on Swindle Island in the coastal fjords of British Columbia, Canada.

[1] Klemtu is the home of the Kitasoo tribe of Tsimshians, originally from Kitasu Bay, and the Xai'xais of Kynoch Inlet,[2] extends eastward from Queen Charlotte Sound, approximately at 52°46′03″N 128°06′25″W / 52.767462°N 128.10688°W / 52.767462; -128.10688.

In religious affiliation, the community is dominated by the United Church of Canada.

[3] it was also known as China Hat due to the shape of Cone Island, which protects it from the open water.

The name Klemtu is from the Coast Tsimshian language "Klemdoo-oolk," meaning "impassable".
